Weight Material Dispensing And Cutting System

An apparatus comprising:

• a receiving module that receives a desired weight value to correct an imbalance of a wheel/tire assembly;
• a conversion module that converts the desired weight value to a corresponding first amount of a wheel weight material;
• first and second rollers that engage first and second opposing sides of the wheel weight material;
• a motor that drives the first roller according to the first amount;
• a forcing member that presses the second roller in a first direction that forms an angle with an axis of the first roller;
• an implement that selectively forms a mark on the wheel weight material;
• and
• a cutting head that is selectively actuated to separate the first amount from the wheel weight material.

A method of balancing a wheel/tire assembly, the method comprising:

• receiving a desired weight value for balancing the wheel/tire assembly;
• converting the desired weight value to a first amount of a wheel weight material;
• driving a first roller according to the first amount;
• pressing a second roller in a first direction that forms an angle with an axis of the first roller, wherein the first and second rollers engage first and second opposing sides of the wheel weight material;
• selectively forming a mark on the wheel weight material;
• and
• selectively actuating a cutting head to separate the first amount from the wheel weight material.
